I think computers in general are just a guy thing. How many girls do we have on these fourms? 2? (Don't worry 2p, you're awesome.)

Also, they have done tests showing that the math taught in schools is comprehended better with the guys, because of the teaching method. Who knows... What's more interesting, is who exactly "they" really is?

This all reminds me of an article I read about IQ testing. It said: "Of course a pygmee from the Kalahari Dessert would laugh his ass off AT that particular test, since the IQ test don't contain any questions about finding water."

Now, do you all know what I mean to imply with this and what the relevance is to this thread, as in the quoted remarks and the, let's say, 4 or 5 posts before thÃ¡t one?

Consider this question an ad-hoc IQ-test from me to all you little boys. Since y'all failed the grammar and the spelling test, in these here posts ...

TDO is making references to not one study, but many done over thelast few decades. It's widely accepted that generally, males are better at things like math, which have black and white definitive answers. Now of course any intelligent woman will not critique what TDO or myself have said because I used words like "generally" and we are talking about actual scientific data. No slander intended. Females have been found top be more apt at writing (journalism, creative writing, fiction).

Elsa,
Your last post explains how you had implied meaning in another previous post. There are many guys on this forum who are smart, but we can't read minds. I'm sure 2P can't either. I'm not saying you're dumb Elsa. I'm saying your posts make you look dumb due to lack of supporting detail and using implication far too often. It is ok though, I wasn't so smart at 15, especially when in comparison to college age people (like most of this forum is I believe). Also, sorry if my grammar wasn't perfect in this post.

I guess its kind of like shooting and elephant or killing a whale. Gotta shoot it in the head and heart like 5 times a piece and then still wait like half hour for it to do...only it'll take more than a half hour for kazaa...

I guess Fasttrack could have low points and high points at different times. Maybe one day all the computers that just host fake mp3's will be turned off by whoever owns them. And if Kaazaa were to include a virus scannerfor that would delete files as they were being downloaded and uploaded.And if hell froze over. And if leeches everywhere realized that shareing is a must.

Then Fasttrack could be reborn. And apps like KLR, KLT and K-lite would again be worthly of a thread on Slyck.

Ya gotta love the implication here.

Dear boy, the fact that these "actual" scientific data were gathered and interpreted by men, is reason enough to be wary and critical of them. Sigh.

During world war II, there was "actual scientific data" that Asians were "racially" unable to fly airplanes very well. Pearl Harbor sure did send those 'actual scientists' back to the drawing board ...

You can also make a claim that women are 'in general' very bad at being medical doctors. If you only look at the number of medical doctors in the West. If you then realize that 80 percent of the medical doctors in Russia/Soviet Union are/were women, you might wanna reconsider making silly statements about 'actual scientific data'.

But hey, you're from Ohio, right? (Oooh, look what I just did, I made a derogatory statement about Ohigh-ans!!! )

Now really, another IQ-test is in order (don't you claim to be intelligent? if not, then not): How do you account for huge difference in numbers of female medical doctors in the West and in Russia?

Trev0r269 wrote:No slander intended. Females have been found top be more apt at writing (journalism, creative writing, fiction).

I'll give you that maybe no slander was intended but all this talk of women are good at one thing and males at another, sure reeks of sexism to me. Since you were brought up in Ohio, I suspect that that wasn't a specific sexism-aware environment. I'll grant you that.

!!!!DRRRINGG - the hypocritical meter just went through the roof. Be honest.

Sarcasm from Ohio is what we really need ... Trevor, it's just rather disconcerting to see somebody claim intelligence with lousy grammar. I'd hoped you'd understand... sigh.Still, i gotta give you points since you haven't been as flammatory towards me as some here on this board. Keep it up, who knows, we might be civil to each other yet.

Trev0r269 wrote:ps - will kazaa please die.

Will somebody please figure out a way to get the 2.5 million Kazaa users on a clean secure network? Perhaps all the smart boyz on this board?
That many users is not something to be sneezed at. Although some snobs would like to, I'm sure.

Elsa,
Thanks for the Ohio joke, very imaginitive. I can tell you're a very worldly and mature person at 15. As far as us being civil, no. However, I will stay away from you on these forums or any other and I imagine with your not so positive opinion of me, I won't get your attention. Very frankly I think you're some kind of ignorant, subborn, feminist who isn't very friendly. You can't say anyone who has said something mean to you did it because you're female. We all love 2P.

Trev0r269 wrote: I can tell you're a very worldly and mature person at 15.

Sigh. I can tell you don't read very well.

Trev0r269 wrote:As far as us being civil, no.

Well, at least I tried, pity.

Trev0r269 wrote:( ... bla bla ...) You can't say anyone who has said something mean to you did it because you're female.

I did not imply that, (but we've established that you can't read, haven't we?) I implied that you have a different view on women than on men BECAUSE they're women. I've challenged you, because of your claim of 'actual science' which i think is suspect at best. Gimme a solid argument, and stop crying already.

Trev0r269 wrote:I hope I only said what was on my mind and the minds of others.

There now, feel better? I hope you're not this oversensitive IRL, or your life wil really suck. Good luck with that.
I guess now the only thing we can do is wait for slyck to close yet another thread because some sensitive male ego is bruised ... God, where are the REAL men? Sigh.

Yeah, our Friendly Neigbourhood Board N... did already cancel ALL my nice polls, which i had worked on for 2 hours to create. (this must please my enemies to no end)
But maybe you're right, if I'm gone who will spice up their life? But some men just can't stand the fact that a girl is smarter than they are. Ask me if I care.
:shrugs:

Allow me to offer some friendly (non-implicable) advise;
If there is a man who can not accept the fact at any particular women is superior to him in any possible way;
An intelligent women (or even another intelligent man) would not waste too much of their time with them. If they can not grasp such a simple concept, then they are clearly beyond hope.

Anyways I don't think you have any enemies on this site; no more then the rest of us. At worst you have a lot of people who don't understand you. Obviously you should challenge anything and every thing you don't agree with. But when you insult people (and yes some people can't take a joke) you give them an out; and they can turn a losing argument into a flame throwing contest.

About your poll it was kind of rude. You said you would laugh at people who did not get what you meant. I know Tom would not have let anyone else do that. Also, you called someone or some people a geek. Not a bad idea though {the poll}. Just next time remember "geeks" don't like to be reminded of their social statues.

Thanks Psycho,
I regret that my poll, or rather the message was mis interpreted. I'm baffled that people still don't see that I'm a geek and proud to be one. I actually have a jacket with the text "Does it hurt to be a nerd?" since that's the slogan of the Science Dept. social club. So ... But what ever. I've known people like littlewilly and Oh Oh opinion IRL, and they usually try to vent their insecurity, by indiscriminate and extrema reaction to anyone who dares to criticize them, especially women. Who cares!

I was looking over all the posts of this group and am frustrated over all the bickering. It would be nice if we all worked for the common goals of file-sharing. We are all in this together. Let us be more supportive of each other regardless of what programs we like. I like Kazaa Lite Resurrection because of all the people on there, as I'm trying to keep alive all the recordings that were made before 1925. I'm sharing around 7000 songs on three different computers under the user names of philcord, public domain and earlymusic1925. Type in Ada Jones and when you find me, do a "find more from the same user" to see all my recordings. I also want to say I love the super nodes on KLR.

It's nice how earlymusic is able to use the 'Copy' and 'Paste' feature on his/her computer...

Wasn't the plan to avoid responding to people who bump old threads needlessly so as not to draw further attention?

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, 'Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?' To tell the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement - but as I deal in English, the most powerful language in the world with subtle nuances that may blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' Well do you punk?
